Sorry, I missed the previous discussion on this.  I never had my WB lock up
until last night when I got my new 2000 home.  About 40% of the time when I
double-clicked on an icon, nothing would happen.  I'd still be able to move 
the pointer around.  When I tried to pull down a menu (by pressing the right
mouse button), then the pointer stopped moving also.  The 'cure' that I found
was to eject the floppy and put it back in.  Then whatever was supposed to 
happen after the double-click usually DID happen.

Is this the same problem mentioned in the above posting, and more importantly,
is there a fix for it?   I spoke to my dealer about it and they indicated that
they had had the same problem, occasionally with 500's and with the other 2
2000's that came at the same time as mine.
